Do you have slides and photos you've
collected from field work or vacations?Every month, we'd like to feature one
of your photos from anywhere in the world and invite other readers to guess
where it was taken. Look every month in the print Geotimes for a
new photo. Following are clues, answers and winners from past issues.

Send answers for the January 2005 Where on Earth?
contest, which appears in the print magazine, to Geotimes by January
28 (or postmarked by this date). From those answers, Geotimes staff
will draw the names of 10 people who will win Where on Earth? T-shirts.
And from those 10 names, we will draw the names of two people who will win
a Brunton compass.

1. The area surrounding this 25-foot-high waterfall has undergone multiple
mountain-building events. The falls erode the granite that intruded into
this national parks predominately metamorphic (slate, schist and
gneiss) mountain range following the first building event.

2. During the Cretaceous and Jurassic, dinosaurs roamed this area, which
was then a balmy tropical wetland. During the last several ice ages, glaciers
filled the mountain valleys, leaving behind a creek flowing into these
provincially named falls.

3. Weather changes frequently in the park. Sunny summer mornings often
give way to fierce afternoon thunderstorms. This picture was taken in
August. That afternoon, a snowstorm struck high on a nearby peak popular
with hikers.

Clues:

1.This natural lake lies within one of the oldest national parks in the
world. The town that shares the same name as the park sprung up after
discovery of nearby hot springs.

2. The lake is fed by meltwater from a glacier of the same name. The glacier
created a terminal moraine during the last glacial period that acts as
a natural dam, holding in the milky, turquoise waters. The mountains surrounding
the lake primarily comprise thick shale and limestone layers.

3. The areas annual temperatures range from 30 degrees Celsius
in the summer to negative 30 degrees Celsius in the winter.

Name this lake and its location.

Answer:Peyto
Lake is in Banff National Park, which is Canada's oldest national park and
is bounded on the west by several hundred miles of the Continental Divide.
An argument over the ownership of nearby hot springs led to the protection
and development of Banff National Park in the late 1880s. Photo courtesy
